Artist Biography Available in: Big Sky is a totally new band project. Formed out of the Celtic Grooves concerts and featuring a roll call of the finest traditional and roots musicians in Scotland led by two of the core members of Capercaillie, Charlie McKerron and John Saich, vocalist Laura McKerron (Charlie's cousin) lends her sensuous, honeyed style to the raw energy of fiddle, electric guitar and wicked drum loops. Between them they are dedicated to writing songs that are influenced more by where they are going rather than where they have been.
Big Sky love life, and love you to dance. Theirs is the new music of democracy - recorded in bedroom home studio's in crofts and cottages on the far extremities of the west and east coasts of Scotland.
During studio sessions for their forthcoming album allusions to Garbage and even the Corrs were duly noted, but you know how comparisons are...just try to catch the spirit and let your heart follow. These are not musicians playing Celtic music, just Celtic people playing how they feel, from World beat through drum & bass, to bluegrass and strict tempo with bubblegum.
